Condition

Chair One: Overall the chair presents well in our opinion with the exception that there are occasional old worm exit holes/losses deterioration to the surfaces of the hanging bar/stretcher. The wood surfaces are slightly weathered overall. Despite this the chair retains a firm structure, with no evidence of any breaks to the cane seat or back. Chair Two: Overall very good original colour and condition, with the exception of several minor separations to the cane back rest. The chair retains a firm structure.
